A complete How-To Guide For the Work-At-Home Industry

Working from my virtual home office is the best thing I have ever done for myself and my family. However, not everyone feels that way. There are some virtual workers that need the everyday office drama, water cooler conversation and feel somewhat isolated from the day to day grind of the traditional brick and mortar job.

I personally have more interaction with people working from my home office than I would if I worked outside of the home. By working virtually, I am able to pick and choose my working relationships. In a traditional office, I would be required to interact with everyone.

While working from your home office, it is very very important to back-up your computer files. I find this topic one that has hit home recently. My husband’s personal computer crashed this week and he lost all data stored. His data was very important since it housed all of our financial information. Since working from your virtual office is your main source of income, it is high priority to schedule time to back-up your computer files.

Some telecommuters complete this task weekly and others once per month. It does not really matter when you back-up files for your virtual business, but think about the position you would be in today if you lost your entire computer and all data and how easily you can avoid that situation.

Are you set up for a successful journey working from home?

The Internet is clearly becoming the new work from anywhere work force solution that offers better solutions to those that normally would not have the working opportunities due to geographical factors. Many companies are choosing to change the way they hire. They are choosing to use independent contractors and freelancers and workers are choosing this lifestyle as well.

Becoming an independent contractor allows the worker to broaden their reach into the virtual working world. Make your virtual working career the best it can be by expanding your work search or home work to a wider reach for work solutions therefore opening doors that normally would be closed due to geographical restrictions. Check out Melissa’s book for ideas on how to search for work and build your virtual working career:

There are so many opportunities out in the Work from home world. I use the word opportunities lightly since some are “really” opportunities and some are well advertised scams. I received information this week on a program that can allow you to become a Virtual Assistant. This program is going to allow you to make up to $40.00 per hour working in the comfort of your own home.

This program is only going to cost you $3,000 to $10,000. I became a work at home independent contractor 10 years ago. I took local classes from the community college and hit the pavement so to speak looking for a job. It was not an easy journey but one that was needed to get to where I am today.

With Melissa Rich’s book “Your Virtual office can be a reality”, I would have avoided many mistakes, scams and overall work at home direction. The work from home journey is one that does not have to cost $1,000 of dollars. Bring your current skill set to the table and build your work from there.
